New saxon discovery 2

[Deruelle]

Hi everybody,

After looking for Albert order with swords on ring, I have found two officers with Civil Merit Order with swords on ring.

For Weber, Arnold and Keil, between 1891-1918

Grand cross with swords on ring :

in gold : 2

in silver vergoldet : 1

Commander cross 1st class with swords on ring :

in gold : 4

in silver vergoldet : 5

Commander cross 2nd class with swords on ring :

in gold : 6

in silver vergoldet : 3

For the moment I have found only two names

- General d. Inf. Hermann von Schweinitz (1851-1929) received Grand Cross of Merit order with swords on ring on 15 May 1917 and he received the commander cross 1st class with swords on ring on 23 May 1908.

- Generalleutnant Kurt Schmalz (1843-1919) received the commander cross 1st class with swords on ring on 15 May 1917.
